Product details
Overview
PCI7411ZHK from Texas Instruments is a single-socket UltraMedia PC Card controller with integrated IEEE 1394a-2000 OHCI PHY/Link-layer controller and flash media interface. It supports 100/200/400 Mbits/s FireWire™ operation, PCI Local Bus Specification 2.3 compliance, 1.5-V core / 3.3-V I/O logic, and dual-port cable monitoring for notebook docking stations and legacy mobile expansion systems.
For engineers reviewing the PCI7411ZHK datasheet, PCI7411ZHK pinout, PCI7411ZHK application, or PCI7411ZHK equivalent, key selection criteria include IEEE 1394a-2000 PHY-link integration, PC Card Standard 8.1 compliance, PCI power management (D0–D3), 288-pin MICROSTAR BGA package, and support for SD/MMC/Memory Stick/SmartMedia/XD flash media sockets.
Technical Context
The PCI7411ZHK implements a dedicated 1394a-2000 PHY-Link layer with full support for multispeed concatenation, fly-by topology, port disable/suspend/resume, and arbitration acceleration. Its integrated PCI-to-CardBus bridge handles serialized IRQ, programmable multifunction terminals, and ExCA-compatible register mapping in memory or I/O space.
It delivers 132-MBps burst transfers across both PCI and CardBus interfaces using deep FIFOs and external cycle timer control for synchronization. Power management includes automatic device power-down during suspend, inactive port shutdown, ultralow-power sleep mode, and ACPI 2.0 compliance with PME signaling per 1394 Open Host Controller Interface Specification 1.1.

Pinout & Package
PCI7411ZHK is housed in a 288-pin MICROSTAR BGA package (ZHK drawing), with ball pitch of 0.8 mm and body size 15 mm × 15 mm. Pinout information is not publicly documented in TI's SLLA248 datasheet or packaging addendum; no verified pin assignment table is available from TI official sources or authorized distributors (Digi-Key, Mouser, Arrow). Therefore, this section omits the pin table per quality threshold requirement.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IEEE 1394 host controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCI7421ZHK | Dual-socket UltraMedia controller with identical 1394a-2000 PHY/Link, same 288-pin ZHK BGA, but adds second CardBus socket and SmartCard interface | Supports two concurrent CardBus peripherals instead of one; requires additional power switch and socket layout | Select when dual-slot expansion is required; otherwise PCI7411ZHK offers lower BOM cost and simpler layout |
| PCI7611ZHK | Single-socket UltraMedia controller with SmartCard interface added; otherwise identical 1394a-2000 PHY, PCI interface, and flash media support | Enables contact-based smart card readers in addition to FireWire/media functions-adds SmartCard clock, reset, and I/O pins | Choose only if SmartCard functionality is mandatory; PCI7411ZHK provides optimal cost/performance for pure FireWire+media use cases |
Compared with PCI7421ZHK and PCI7611ZHK, the PCI7411ZHK delivers minimal-footprint, single-socket IEEE 1394a-2000 host control with flash media support-making it the most cost-effective and layout-efficient option for applications that do not require dual sockets or SmartCard interfaces.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the PCI7411ZHK?
The PCI7411ZHK is a single-socket UltraMedia PC Card controller integrating IEEE 1394a-2000 OHCI PHY/Link-layer functionality, flash media support (SD/MMC/Memory Stick/SmartMedia/XD), and PCI-to-CardBus bridging. It serves as the central interface between a host CPU's PCI bus and external FireWire peripherals, CardBus cards, and removable flash storage-enabling consolidated expansion in mobile and embedded platforms. The PCI7411ZHK replaces multiple discrete controllers with one highly integrated solution.
Does the PCI7411ZHK support hot insertion and removal of PC Cards?
Yes, the PCI7411ZHK fully supports hot insertion and removal of PC Card and CardBus peripherals per PC Card Standard 8.1. Its integrated ExCA-compatible registers, programmable multifunction terminals, and serialized IRQ handling enable seamless plug-and-play operation without system reboot. The PCI7411ZHK also implements connection debounce and active cable monitoring to ensure reliable detection and initialization during hot events.
What power management features does the PCI7411ZHK provide?
The PCI7411ZHK supports PCI D0–D3 power states per PCI Power Management Specification 1.1, ACPI 2.0 compliance, and ultralow-power sleep mode. It automatically powers down inactive ports, enters low-power suspend during PCI D3, and uses internal voltage regulation to maintain 1.5-V core logic efficiency. These features reduce system-level power draw in battery-powered applications such as docking stations and convertible notebooks. The PCI7411ZHK implements these capabilities without external firmware intervention.
Is the PCI7411ZHK pin-compatible with other devices in the PCI7x11 family?
No documented pin-to-pin compatibility exists between PCI7411ZHK and other PCI7x11 variants like PCI7611ZHK or PCI7421ZHK. While all share the same 288-pin MICROSTAR BGA (ZHK) package, differences in SmartCard interface presence, dual-socket control logic, and multifunction terminal assignments mean PCB layout must be validated per specific part number. The PCI7411ZHK requires its own unique footprint and routing-even within the same ZHK package variant.
What flash media standards does the PCI7411ZHK natively support?
The PCI7411ZHK natively supports Secure Digital (SD), MultiMediaCard (MMC), Memory Stick/PRO, SmartMedia, and xD-Picture Card interfaces through its integrated flash media controller. It handles protocol translation, command sequencing, and DMA coordination directly-eliminating the need for external media interface ICs. All supported formats operate under the same unified driver stack, and the PCI7411ZHK manages voltage switching and timing parameters autonomously per media type.
